17
Q

Which clue or clues help you to identify an intersection ahead

A

Street signs and street lights

18
Q

The spot where you can no longer stop safely is

A

the point of no return

19
Q

You are approaching an intersection that has traffic signals. The intersection is

A

unprotected

20
Q

Two kinds of signs are used to control intersections. They are the

A

stop sign and yield sign

21
Q

An intersection with a yield sign is

A

a controlled intersection

22
Q

If a traffic signal has a fourth or fifth light, it is likely to be a

A

left turn light

23
Q

A traffic light that has been green for some time is

A

stale, likely to turn yellow

24
Q

If left turns are not prohibited after a left-turn arrow ends, what strategy should you use to complete the turn?

A

treat it as an unprotected left turn

25
A delayed green light means
one side of an intersection has a green light and the other side remains red
26
Generally, you may turn right on red providing you
treat the light as you would a stop sign
27
Red lights and crossing gates indicate
a controlled railroad crossing
28
An intersection which has neither traffic signs nor traffic signals is
an uncontrolled intersection
29
If two vehicles approach an uncontrolled intersection at about the same time, who must yield?
the driver on the left yields to the driver on the right
30
You approach an uncontrolled intersection. You should treat it as though which sign is present?
a yield sign
31
You are waiting to make a left turn from a four lane street. There are no signs or signals present. How does traffic affect your turning left?
you should not begin the turn until traffic is clear
32
A railroad crossing is indicated by a
white, X-shaped sign
33
Roundabouts are safer than intersections with traffic signals because
all traffic is moving in the same direction and head-on collisions are eliminated, there are no left turns across intersections, so dangerous conflicts are reduced, yield signs reduce delays and decrease the level of driver frustration and aggression
34
Yielding the right of way means
letting others go first
35
You have the right of way only
when other drivers give it to you
36
When you should yield, other drivers
should not have to slow or stop
37
When an emergency vehicle sounds its sirens or uses a flashing light, you
must yield the right of way
38
You are preparing to enter traffic at an intersection. You must judge the
size of the gap between vehicles
39
Turning left and accelerating to 30 mph, you will need a gap of
2 Blocks
40
Joining traffic when turning right takes
a larger gap than crossing the intersection
41
When joining traffic by turning left, the gap to the left should be
greater than when turning right
